Wow what a rare sighting! #didyouknow that females of the blanket octopus are generally up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) while the males are just 2.4 centimeters (0.9 inches)! Biologists regard it to be the most fascinating and classic examples of sexual dimorphism in the animal species. A full-grown female adult can weigh 10 kilograms while the male can rarely be more than an ounce. That means, a female can be almost 40,000 times heavier than a male!.
